Hacktivist group Anonymous Philippines defaced multiple government websites on Monday, expressing dissatisfaction with the world’s governments and calling for a mask protest.
“Your governments have failed you; they sit atop their thrones and abuse their power. They are deaf to the will of the people. The system is broken. If this moment passes idly by without a whimper than together we will all be at fault for securing that future generations will never have a voice,” read the message.
At least 10 government websites were hacked, including.

- http://braulioedujali.gov.ph/
- http://ictconvention.dti.gov.ph/
- http://laguna.gov.ph/fb/

Some of the websites were able to go back online later in the day.
The hackers also called on Filipinos to wear masks and join the Nov. 5 protest. “Throw your political ideologies to the side on November 5th and stand tall with a fellow human against worldwide government corruption and tyranny.”
Anonymous Philippines also hacked several government websites in protest of the Anti-cybercrime Law in 2012 and just last year, the group also called on the public to support a protest at Batasang Pambansa.
